Overview

The  H&H Electronics Tessen Active models use the same ‘audiophile’ braced plywood cabinets and purpose designed HH drivers as the passive systems, but couple them with dynamic and responsive amplifiers.

• H&H Electronics TNS-118A - 500W Class D units drive the woofers, active crossovers and subtle equalisation ensure the cabs, amps and drivers are perfectly suited to each other, and outperform expectations.
• As with all HH systems, Tessen Active cabs don’t feature multiple inputs, gains and EQ’s or any of the other functions best performed by a purpose built mixer, just high quality amplification to make your sound louder without colouration.

A TROUSER FLAPPER

• Couple a very high efficiency, high specification HH 18” woofer with our high efficiency 500W Class D amp and switch mode supply and you have what we simply call ‘A trouser flapper’.

Technologies:

PA WOOFERS

• Many aspects must be considered in PA woofer design: Is it for a sub or a front-of-house cab? If front-of-house, what compression driver will it be used with? What size and type of cabinet must it suit? How many drivers will be in the cab? When all this is considered, it is clear why designing and building our own speakers is a great advantage.
• FOH woofers must have enough high mid to match the compression driver used, but must reproduce enough bass to work without a sub. Subwoofer drivers must be able to shift a lot of air without suffering mechanical damage, or becoming non linear, and also should not reproduce much mid, which would need to be rolled out by expensive X-over components.

TESSEN RANGE SPEAKERS

• All Tessen systems have cast frame, designed-for-purpose woofers with highly efficient ribbon wire coils, massive magnet structures and glass-fibre reinforced felted cones with long excursion surrounds. Cones are manufactured to our specification by world renowned U-Sonics Power Cone and specially imported for Tessen cabs. The glass fibre reinforcement greatly enhances the stiffness of the cones without compromising weight, and provides the correct tonal character and smoothness to seamlessly blend with the large format 1.4” exit compression drivers used in all Tessen high/mid cabs. The 1.4” exit / 50mm Titanium dome compression drivers give a smoother, clearer upper mid character for superb vocal reproduction with great projection and very high power handling

TOTAL SYSTEM DESIGN

• Unlike many of our competitors, we design and build every part of our products. Speakers, electronics, cabinets and other parts are all designed and refined together to make a system; every part is fine tuned in development to work in harmony with the others resulting in performance far greater than the sum of the parts

FRONT OF HOUSE

• The main PA facing the audience is the vital link between your talent and your audiences perception. Your front-of-house cabs carry your message. Loud isn’t enough ; detail, clarity, responsiveness and even subtlety are essential. Your speakers should be good enough that nobody even notices they exist. By fine tuning every detail to work together our PA will put the focus on you, not your speakers. Understated looks with robust build and components sourced from the best suppliers after extensive testing combine to give outstanding acoustic performance.

SUBWOOFERS

• Subwoofers don’t just ‘add bass’. By extending the low frequency response of your system you increase the natural character of the sound, and improve mid range clarity by removing the need for your Front-of-house cabs to reproduce bass. HH subwoofers are designed to musically add low frequency content that will enhance any source: vocals, acoustic instruments, drums or recorded tracks. By filling in the lower ranges with clean, clear and musical sound the overall performance of your PA will be improved.

ACTIVE SUBWOOFERS

• A 500W RMS Class D amplifier combined with a switch-mode power supply drive purpose built woofers with ribbon wire coils and large high grade magnet systems to create highly efficient and responsive subwoofer systems. With balanced stereo inputs, filtered and full range link outputs, variable low pass filter and phase reversal switch HH active subs can easily be added and perfectly matched to any system, enhancing any style of music.
